🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 as needed Vegetable oil or non-stick spray (for greasing the can)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the inside of a clean, empty 1-pound coffee can with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients, tossing to coat the cheese evenly in the flour mixture. This will prevent the cheese from clumping during baking.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until fully blended.

5. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick but cohesive batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

6. Spoon the batter into the greased coffee can, filling it about two-thirds full to allow room for the bread to rise.

7. Place the coffee can on a baking sheet for stability and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Carefully remove the coffee can from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. To release, gently slide a butter knife or spatula around the inside edge of the can, and then invert it to remove the bread.

9. Slice the bread into rounds and serve warm with butter, or enjoy as a delicious side with soups, salads, or breakfast dishes.
